heated Water .ion the provi dreined Without elogging or interfering ion consiss, irsta of e gas I muhL le burners,v nipples r nozzles with ineens and moulding yvhere- 'die supplying nipples may be' epd- .hodily, es et cni y, in both direceiion the nipples to inheresimvleneouslv regulate the sir supplyv acrdl ig to the character and pressure of the :is being burned., t

The invenliion consists, furthery 1n an improved ii-rangement of shell and sir supply and nipples, and e condensation drip or drain 'whereby' the ncc'umnleied condenselion prevented from clogging .he burners.

The invention consists, siill furtherj in the details of const. 'lotion and combination of ges expansion bon?, ,gas rrnd nipples, and adjusting screws for ei'ecting relative bodily movement of ehe paris, as serl forth fully hereinef'eer.

in the accompanying drawings: lligure 1 is e side elevation; Fig. 2, a vertical section; Fig. 3, e cross section on line 3 3, Fig 2; and Fig. Ll, a detail of the gas expansion box and the is supply nipples.

The invention is intended for use in any conneceion Where is desired to heat Water,

inshznces being' he heating of waier for domestic use such the. usuel kirchen l l Other uses are ober or :ie n beih tub,

having spring hinges 13 which heen tour and is provided at its top with un ourlerJ 2 which may open directly ineo the roo-ni or be. connected to a due. The shell is sup ported by legs 3 which are secured by screw: to the lower port or apron 5 of the shell. In the upper part of the shell is a baille `which sufciently retards lie heat to pren/enry boo rapid draft and to insure proper her-l of the coil 7. rl`he coil 7 may be oic any for but is preferably of the shape shown. "1 l. inside of the shell 1 is provided with integral lugs 8 on opposite sides thereof el many points as desired. Such of these ings are capped as are most convenient in ehe inu stalletion of the heater, the coil being; conn nected to two of such lugs. The coldv inlet 9 is secured to one ofthe lugs and provided with e controlling evolve 10 to lei or shut ofi' the Water. To the other lu which the coil is connected, Jchere is et-ee l a valveless hot Water outlet 11. i shell n provided With 'a relatively large openiwu which is kepi normally closed bv door door shut. Consequently if there should be e dare-back or explosion such as occurs in.

ighiting a water heater, the door would remain closed and the user would not alarmed, such explosions being not ons, but sometimes terrifying. The door mey have isinglass panels 14 and a nemeplee 15.

Secured by a flange 16 and screws 17 :l bottom plate 18 which is of circuler for and provided .with numerous conical nipples 19 which are provided wieh air holes These. holes may oe of varying sizes, bur, they are preferably about one-eighth inch in diameter. There is provided e pel's-c^ or condensation drain 21 on a level vi'izli r i.; upper surface of the botoin plate 18. conical nipples 19 projecting upwardly i:i the plate 18, the accumulation of condensa.n tion cannotl readily reach the holes@ end quite a quantity may accumulate before is necessary toopen the pet-cool; and drain the condensation od.

Located Within the .apron 5 and below che plete 18, is a hollow circular'ges expansion box 24C which is provided on itsl upper sv face with nipples 22 corresponding inn' ber to the nipples 19 and each of teperii A ormnnd provided with a. pin hole 23 cor municavting with. the interior of ehe box 521i and eording en onrlef:I for the The nip or less in elle nipples 19 to thereby lecljusl; Lhe elleetive' aree ol:A air supply opening to the lioles 26. Naturel does not require nmeli eil" for its proper eonsump'eion is does ertiliciel Also, elle I" illness enel. pressure' of erlil'ieial ges varies in dilierenib cities and localities. l, therefore elie boil*` .f/l and. its nipplesQZ so lia; 'lliey may be moved simultaneously meel 'bodily in relation tothe nipples 19 to regulate ell'eotive air supply by choking down or opening up the interior olf llie nipples i9. 'lfliismey be clone in dierenl', Wa'ys, but l preferably employ screws 25 threaded through elle lool:v in any suitable manner lo prevent escape of ges snol threaded. into lelie bottom plete T8 so lzliet on turning these serene, entire boil 2e end ,its nipples 22 mm be moved simultaneously and bodily lo .any desired extent in :relation to the plete llenll llie nipples lll. Preferably llnee of screws are employed. Screwed into one side ol' elle lion :T5-l is u ges inlet 26 which may loe connected to any suitable flexible ges tube or pipe end. this inlet slides up and, down in e slot Elin the apron 5. A similar slotor slots may be provided et dillerent points 2o of the apron and o, plugged hole may lie provided on llie opposite sicle of the box :il for convenient attachment of the inlet 2G anreorlling to the position inv which the heele? installed.

l ein aware that various changes in (leleil eonslruetion may be resorted, to in the menne Vfor adjusting the gas expnsion boi: and in llie construction of the nipples for lille air and gas without departing honi the spiiif; :unl scope of the invention.
